In the northern part of the buffer zone of Parc Macaya, one of the most important sites for biodiversity in Haiti, Fondation Nouvelle Grand'Anse supports the creation of local environmental committees in 10 rural communities. These committees are organized under a common network, which will advocate for a stronger participation of local communities in the management of natural resources in the area. Local committees will also identify and implement environmental micro-projects in the 10 communities.
